Was told very specifcally, don't push your car it's very frowned upon. But I would say I hit about 65 on the straight, 45 to 50 in the turn, which didn't feel very fast at all. Guess my friend with a WRX Sti stood on his, lost control, went sideways into the infield and tore up the field some.....

GF asked me how fast I was going on the autocross course, I never did watch the speedo or tach, was to busy trying to keep the car on the course and getting to the next turn....
